This was your statement

Willow, you still haven't shown where NZ contrived a result to harm another team's chances

Now isn't it obvious that by throwing the match you hindered Australia?

It's also against the rules but was somehow just forgotten by the ICC.

Yes, it obviously did hinder Australia. We wanted to make the finals, and our best chance of making them was to finish ahead of Australia.

That is different from already having made the finals, but trying to hinder Australia anyway.

Guys, guys, guys........this would not be acceptable in any other forum. This thread
has clearly been hijacked by certain folks with particular cricket chips on the shoulder.

It should not continue. Please restrict discussion to the Rugby League Tri Series and
to whether or not the dirty underarm bowling freakin Australians are able to contain
their underhand methods, thus ensuring that the squeeky clean Kiwis compete on a
level playing field.

Thank you

Who cares if we cheat. As long as the kiwis lose. Teams have to be good at the regular game and the sneaky game.

The Aussies would hate to lose the game ..... The Kangaroo's have a long history of winning and doing what ever it takes to do so.
I hope the brits win by 20 and knock the Aussies out...

Thierry, I'll ask again: did NZ play with a dead bat to contrive an outcome?

If you can... a yes or no will do.




Skinner, I think the thread took on a life of its own some time ago. ;-)
Rivalry is good.

Yes

That proves nothing and has no bearing on the argument

That's code for it doesn't suit your argument.

It proves that NZ are capable of throwing a match. Something you said they would never do.

lol, sorry but your logic is leaking like a sieve.

i think Aus threw the first match so we wouldn't have to play the poms in the final

honestly, has anyone seen Lockyer play that bad?
